From the Publisher

The storm was coming...

For the three years Shadow spent in prison, all he wanted was to get back to the loving arms of his wife and stay out of trouble for the rest of his life. But days before his release, he learns that his wife has been killed in an accident, and his world becomes a colder place.

On the plane ride home to the funeral, Shadow meets a man who calls himself Mr. Wednesday, a self-declared grifter, who offers Shadow a job.Shadow, a man with nothing to lose, accepts. But he soon learns that his role in Wednesday's schemes will be far more dangerous than he could have ever imagined.

American Gods is a dark and kaleidoscopic journey deep into myth and across an America at once eerily familiar and utterly alien. Magnificently told, American Gods is a work of literary magic that will haunt the listener long after it has been heard.

Performed by George Guidall

    I almost always appreciate Gaiman's works, and American Gods did not disapoint. Gaiman's unique mythology is perhaps almost wholly unoriginal, as it draws upon real world mythos, but no real world mythos is like Gaiman's. The blending of cultures and attitudes is truly masterful. It was interesting. While reading this, I was impatient for it to be done. This was of course not because I was impatient with it, but because I wanted to know all that the book had to offer. I'll definitely be… read more

    This book was an amazing mix of modern times and the ancient gods, the twists are great, unexpected, but accepted by your mind as another element of the imagery, characters, and plot of this adventure. If you're like me and you like to think about things, understand the abstract, etc, philosophy, or crazy interesting topics, you'll love this book, and it'll certainly leave you sommething to think about. Fantasy/sci fi, and thought provoking, how can you ask for more? read more

    Is it Wednesday Again Already? 4

    Shadow has been serving time for a while, and is thrilled to see his wife again as his release date approaches at last. Of course, things can’t go that easily especially when that’s the first sentence for the premise of the novel. Finally free and with nowhere left to go, Shadow finds himself chatting with a stranger on the plane home who offers him a job. He takes the work as the chauffeur and bodyguard of an old con artist with a glass eye who calls himself Wednesday. The job takes him to all… read more

    I, personally, adored this book. I loved the descriptive art Gaiman used throughout the story, whether he was describing a character or an atmosphere... he made you feel it. This is by far, one of the most intriguing, and fascinating books I have ever read, and I loved every minute of it. :)

    This is my favourite book, and its writer is my favourite author. Neil Gaiman's writing is thought-provoking and makes you really think about people, places, the world, etc., while carrying a great story. Read it, or else.

    Neil Gaiman certainly knows how to capture his audience. Even though the amount of information that is in this book and the many many references to the thousands of gods in our world, it was an absolute treat and I couldn't put the book down.
